Liverpool City orchid collection
Liverpool has one of the oldest orchid collections in the UK. It was started by Willian Roscoe and has, for the past 25 years or so, been off show to the general public. The greenhouses were very old and deemed unsafe for visitors. However, this year Liverpool is the European Capital of Culture and part of the collection has been put on show at the various RHS events around the country. Another part is at Croxteth Hall, which is where I took these shots. Unfortunately many plants had lost their tags. Still a pleasure to see them after all these years.
